Rayleigh‐type surface wave on a linear viscoelastic half‐space

December 1, 1973

The analytic solution for a Rayleigh‐type surface wave on a linear viscoelastic half‐space is obtained. The general viscoelastic solution predicts several properties of the surface wave distinct from those predicted by elasticity. The velocity, absorption coefficient, and displacement field are described theoretically.
